Christmas Eve

I know these are out of order...sorry! I'll get the hang of this blogging thing sooner or later.

We spent Christmas Eve at my sisters house. The pictures are from the kids (plus cousins) opening their Christmas P.J's, Bailey trying hers on, and the tree fresh from Santa's visit. Thanks Mark for the remote control car, Tanner loved it!!

Christmas Morning

Bailey just recieved a pack of undershirts, and could not wait to put one on.

Bailey saying: "Trash" and "Thank You Granny"-watch how neat she is, organizing her trash!! That's my girl!!

SNOW FuN!!

Don't these pictures of Bailey remind you of the Christmas movie, "A Christmas Story", where the boy is so bundled up he can't even move!!!

Christmas Time

Gingerbread houses and christmas Train




Caitlin's field trip to see the Nutcracker ballet, this was her favorite part!



Our kiddies all on Santa's lap

Dutch Christmas with clompins (dutch wooden shoes), chocolate letters and all!


Tanner with his preschool group at the mall to see Santa
Decorating the Christmas Tree-or undecorating for Bailey, that's always more fun! There's Marcus-admiring the tree and decorating from a distance.!!!

Thanksgiving Feast

Caitlin's first dance recital

Caitlin's dance teacher rented out the gymnasium at the highschool and puts on this great recital for the parents! Caitlin was so excited to be on stage, she came off asking if she could do it again and after watching her self on video at her dance teachers house she asked if she could please dance on TV-oh goodness, we've got a performer!!!

Caitlin is on the right side, up front. ENJOY!!

Disney on Ice

For An early Christmas present I took the kids to see Disney on Ice up in Salt Lake. We had the kids open up a present with a dress up costume, a picture to color and their ticket to the show-it was lots of fun to see them so excited. Bailey loved getting dressed up the most, but when she got to the show she wasn't so sure she liked it all that much-you know the genie from Aladdin can be scary...

AHHH!

I can't believe I haven't posted since Halloween-life is crazy. Well beside our wonderful Thanksgiving that we spent at home with my parents, sister and little bro.( who's shipping off to boot camp in Jan.), we have had dance recitals, class trips (for Tanner to see Santa and for Caitlin to see the nutcracker ballet), house guests for the holidays, Christmas decorating, Christmas shopping, wrapping, baking and lots of other fun stuff-especially keeping up with our little Bailey who is now talking up a storm, at least to us-still a little wary of those strangers called Aunts and Uncles!! Will post some video's and pictures soon!

HALLOWEEN Dressup Time

UPDATE:
Caitlin dressed up for her school Halloween march!!
We have our ladybug (which she wasn't to fond of so we changed to cheerleader!!), Spiderman and Leopard. My first try at face painting-everyone but Bailey who couldn't sit still was pretty easy and fun!! (We had to do her face twice to get it to look good and we tried Tanner with and without the red makeup because if gave off everywhere) Always a fun time of year!!
